Chicago, Cook, IL in 1936. She is buried at Rosehill cem. Her father Joh Wm
Cassel/Cassel, d. 1918 and mother Mary Leeds Cassel are also buried there. John's
father Wm. married Martha Taylor in Woodford Co., KY and also lived in Jessamine Co., KY
William was the 14th child of Martin Cassell (or Cassel) b. in Maryland to Henry Cassell
d. 1756 and Margarethe Bemker d. 1784. Children: Martin d. before October 15, 1802,
(John) Jacob Cassell, b. October 7, 1734; died Feb 12, 1818 in Frederick County MD.
